Fantastic cookies! I made them exactly as stated and they were quite easy. Used parchment paper instead of greasing the sheet. Will make again and again.

Excellent! I used the Hershy's mint truffle by slicing off the tops and then used toothpicks to make designs, like stars.

Yummy! Used it for my cookie exchange using Zachary dinner mints (1/2 each) and they were a hit. Truly addictive! Thanks!

These are fantastic. I've made them twice, once following the recipe with melted chocolate chips and once using a cocoa-based substitution for a 12 oz bag of chips. Instead of the chips, I used 3/4 cup of cocoa, 3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 cup of butter (shortening would also have worked, and maybe vegetable oil as well, though it might have messed with the texture; I'll have to test it). I melted the butter and sugar with the rest of the recipe and added the cocoa powder right before removing from heat, stirring very well to avoid those powdery lumps. No discernable difference in the final product. Have used and will continue to use in my Christmas gift-giving.

So I made this recipe exactly as stated except instead of the chocolate mint candy, I mixed in crushed candy canes. The cookie part was absolutely delicious, but the only thing wrong with my variation was that some of the candy cane chunks were too big and melted all over the place. It wasn't a mess to clean up after it cooled, but it looked messy. Otherwise taste and texture were great. Next time I might add some peppermint oil to make it even mintier.

WOW, these are really easy, delicious, and attractive-- but look and taste like you slaved! As suggested by others, wait just long enough for the candy to start melting and carefully flip it over with a toothpick so the green center can be swirled on top.

This cookie was very good. I made it exactly as the recipe called for. One word about this recipe, though - after I refrigerated the dough, it was hard as a rock! I mean hard as in I could barely cut it with a knife! Rolling into balls was amazingly difficult.

SO EASY TO MAKE! I was worried after reading some of the reviews because they seemed a little involved, but I can't emphasize how easy these are! And the taste is amazing!! My batch made about 60 cookies (I guess mine were a bit smaller!) and I used half an Andes mint on each cookie.

Very, very good! It was hard to tell when they were done because they stay SOOO poofey and soft while in the oven, but as long as I took them out after 10 minutes regardless of what they looked like, they were still nice and chewy. The first batch was crunchy. I also turned my oven down to 325 after the first batch, but I just think my oven is goofy. I used the Andes baking ships, which are crushed andes mints, and I think it resulted in a prettier product than the whole mints. I used a 10oz bag for the whole batch. I put half the batch in the freezer for gift trays for Christmas, so lets home a few weeks in the freezer doesn't ruin their flavor and texture. I'll definitely be making these again, probably in a few weeks!! I might try to find a chocolate cookie recipe that uses cocoa powder though for a more economical cookie since the mints are pricey.

If you love thin mints, you will love these cookies. They are easy to make, and they turn out great with a moist, perfectly chewy consistency that will keep for days. I got rave reviews for these cookies and will make them again.

I didn't have butter, so I subbed with shortening and these are the most delicious cookies I've ever made! I also topped them with a Hershey kiss as they came out of the oven. They're good, but the tops of the cookies deflated a little... I also was baking these with another batch of cookies, so I baked them at 330 for 10ish minutes.

This recipe has been around in my family for as long as i can remember. I grew up with my mom making them around Christmas, never through out the year. It has become tradition for me now to make them around the holidays. There is a trick though that i know of that i havent seen in any reviews or in the recipe itself.. LINE YOUR PAN WITH FOIL.. and the cookies will turn out perfectly each time.. i spray a lil pam on the foil.. but just a tiny bit. Hope it helps anyone out.. Enjoy

Wonderful! Easy to overcook. Don't cook with your eyes. I could have sworn these were not done by 9 minutes. Consequently, I cooked one batch for 12 minutes and they were hard, not soft like I prefer. I got the hang of it after the first batch. These cookies freeze well. Good for gift giving.

Oh so yummy! I used half of mint on each cookie. After they melted I spread it around the entire surface of the cookie. Sooo chewy, great flavor. My mother said she believed them to be the best cookies she has ever had, and she loves to bake! Thank you
